In this tutorial we'll learn about dependencies by adding one. We'll write code to use the slf4j logging framework, and we'll modify our pom.xml to specify the dependency to Maven.
There are some Maven plugins that are full Servlet containers. We'll look at an example: the Jetty plugin, and we'll see how it makes developing web applications easier.
More plugins! We'll use the Maven's Eclipse plugin to get our Maven project into the Eclipse IDE. We'll also download and install the m2eclipse plugin of Eclipse to bring Maven functionality into the Eclipse GUI.
